Dr. Carol Earls
Verified Veterinarian
Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I first taught high school when I graduated from undergraduate school, and quickly learned that being on stage every day in front of 120 teenagers was not my ideal scenario. After some soul searching, I realized being a Veterinarian was what I always wanted to do (my Mom later found 3 x 5 cards with medical records that I kept on all my stuffed animals as a child). With a 3 year old daughter in tow, I went back to Vet school and have never looked back. Of course, love for the animals is the primary focus, but I also love the connections that I have made with the animals' human families over the years. I have enjoyed all aspects of my working career- preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, as well as euthanasia. But with the veterinary industry as busy as it is right now, the stress of in-clinic euthanasia for the pets as well as their families has become so overwhelming that I now want to focus on making our pets' final times as stress free as possible.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Carol is caring, understanding, and respectful. It was extremely difficult losing our dog but she was able to make it to our house and create an environment for our Coco the go peacefully.
Dr. Carol Earls was angel sent to ease us into the next chapter of life. After a year long battle with cancer, it was time. Our 8 year old chocolate Labrador, Doug, was our world along with his litter mate Dublin. Dr Earls was so compassionate, patient, and understanding even helping us understand Dublins needs during the transition. She took any doubt we had away, and was the best decision we could have made for our boy, and ourselves. She even traveled out of regular distance to help us. Thank you codapet and Dr. Earls for being there for us, I truly couldn’t imagine a better way for him
The process in itself was very easy... She called beforehand to verify timing. Showed up and consulted. Was compassionate, caring and understanding. Respectful and patient. For as hard of a time this was for the kids, she made it as easy as you can in this kind of time. I appreciated her respect very much so and would do it this way going forward. Thank you again.
Dr. Carol patiently answered all my questions & was a comforting presence on one of the worst days of my life. She is a kind professional & I’m grateful that she was available that day.
Dr Earls was amazing. Fast to respond and was a true blessing for us. She was so good with our Cosmo and really made him feel comfortable. From start to finish she concentrated on Cosmo and us to make sure we all were good. She later sent us a beautiful “thinking of you” card and then later brought over a beautiful urn with his ashes and even a clay paw print. There was also a certificate and date of cremation. If you have to go through this I would recommend Dr. Carol Earls 100%. She is a wonderful caring person.
We had to let go of our baby girl, Zoe, on February 5th. It was heartbreaking, but it was the right time. Dr Carol was so empathetic and understanding during our outpouring tears. We decided to have her ashes returned to us. I’ll never forget Dr. Carol putting our beloved Zoe in her front seat with such care and saying she puts the little ones there. 💜
